While the guinea pig forums are basically the only public forums, this new forum will be public also.

Should you wish to start a discussion on a topic that is important to you, please do. Global warming, world politics, etc. we'll see where this goes!

The focus of the forum may change and it is possible some posts will be moved to General Chat (must be registered and logged in to view General Chat). These topics are all indirectly related to the health of our guinea pigs since they affect us all.

Please do not ask for posts to be deleted. Only post publicly if that is your intention.

I think people can get so caught up in their own little worlds that they do not take the time to find out what is happening in the big world that can have consequences that affect all of us for years to come.

While 'dropping out' has its appeal, and was a voice of a previous generation - who I will say had some good ideas an certainly good intentions -it has come to a time when this notion can not be used to benefit the many. Certainly those for whom actually 'dropping out' is not an option.

I hope many people get here get to reveal the monsters. They are less scary when there are loads of people to chase em off with sticks.
